Rising of the Day gives every creature you control haste and pumps your red creatures for two mana — a permanent Fires of Yavimaya effect stapled to a lord, for an enchantment that costs less than most ramp spells. Krenko, Mob Boss and The Master, Multiplied both want this badly: tokens that enter and can immediately attack or activate are categorically better than tokens that wait a turn.
Best Commanders
Commanders with the highest synergy
The Master, Multiplied
The Master, Multiplied creates Dalek tokens on attack triggers — Rising of the Day means every new token that enters mid-combat or after a copy effect can swing the same turn, snowballing the army before opponents can stabilize.
Neriv, Heart of the Storm
Neriv, Heart of the Storm generates spirit tokens whenever a nontoken creature you control dies, and Rising of the Day lets those spirits attack immediately rather than sitting as a defensive buffer for a full rotation.
Goro-Goro and Satoru
Goro-Goro and Satoru reward attacking with creatures that have power four or greater, and Rising of the Day ensures anything that enters with a counter or a buff can threaten damage the moment it arrives.
Etali, Primal Storm
Etali, Primal Storm's trigger only fires on combat damage, so haste from Rising of the Day collapses the wait from two turns to one — enabling a turn-six cast into an immediate attack.
Voja, Jaws of the Conclave
Voja, Jaws of the Conclave goes wide with elves and wolves that scale off each other's presence, and Rising of the Day converts that board state into an immediate alpha strike rather than a telegraphed one.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | legal |
| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Rising of the Day is a Commander card in practice — the format's multiplayer dynamics and token-centric commanders are exactly where a two-mana permanent haste enabler generates the most leverage. In Legacy and Vintage it's legal but irrelevant; those formats end before a slow enchantment provides meaningful returns, and neither format is hungry for this effect. Modern is the one constructed format where it's legal and theoretically playable, but Goblin-style aggro already has better options and the enchantment is too fragile and slow for a format that ends on turn three or four. Oathbreaker shares enough of Commander's go-wide token DNA that Rising of the Day sees real play there too.

Current price
$1.65 cheap tier
At $1.65, Rising of the Day sits firmly in the budget tier — cheap enough to slot into any token or haste-matters build without a second thought. That price is likely stable: it sees consistent Commander demand without being the kind of chase rare that spikes.
